I have spent a lot of time speaking with lots of home owners recently about the security in their home. I am attempting to gain some insight on different ways our homes become at risk. I asked each person I spoke with if they had ever experienced suspicious actions at their home. It could be burglary, a broken window, a suspicious person – whatever. Almost every single person had at least one story to tell me. Many of the stories eventually led them to get a alarm system. I have heard that Dearborn Heights Home Security is a great option.
One individual informed me that he had been home for the afternoon one day, but then left to go pick his son up from hockey practice. When he and his son returned home about 10 minutes later, one of the windows was broken and a few things were missing inside. He thought he was being watched, and that the robber knew once he left the house. Another mother of 3 said that she once opened the door for a man who claimed to be a salesperson. After he finished speaking, he asked if he could come inside to talk it over with her. She said no thanks, and the man again replied by asking if he could still come inside to use her phone. Considering this man was being persistent, she again declined and shut the door.
All of us have had our encounters with suspicious situations and people. Some experiences are worse than others, like the first man’s experience. The information I am trying to figure out helps me determine what drives people to get a burglar alarm. The woman said she opted to get one the following day.
I have heard a lot of comparable stories from other families. You never know what might happen on a given day. I am certain these two people did not wake up thinking something unusual would happen that day. It definitely emphasizes the value in always being prepared.
